Tajikistan
Description
Protests against the 1991 presidential election in Tajikistan led to a prolonged civil war in which almost 100,000 people lost their lives. A report from the former Soviet republic details the accusations of summary executions, disappearances, and ethnic strife. Also in this episode is a profile of Father Ricardo Rezende and his work with the poor in the Brazilian Amazon; an examination of the interplay between conflict resolution and human rights; and a report on forced labor in Myanmar (Burma). Also featured are excerpts from "Chelyabinsk: The Most Contaminated Spot on the Planet" highlighting the relationship between human rights and the environment, and coverage of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Awards.
